Nope. Try a bunch of 1+Meg emailed executables showing things like Rudolph going splat, men and women dancing, etc. Prabhu ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: "Today is a good day to die" Author: "J.D.

Has Worldcom upgraded the MAE's again, or is this the much- touted explosion of "e-commerce" for the Christmas season? We've gotten nothing useful out of Worldcom today; anybody else had any better luck? ********************************************************* J.D.

And then all the mail on all he mailing lists with people wondering why things are slow ;-) The 1+Meg emailed things are pretty good though, is there an alt.binaries group full of them? alt.binaries.christmas-bandwidth-eaters -- Leigh
on another note, the volume of spam around the holidays goes up dramatically. i admin nowhere.com, (no, we don't generate or relay spam), and we usually get about 25-35k bounces/death threats/etc per month destined for the domain. by the 15th we were up to 160k On Fri, Dec 19, 1997 at 09:17:57PM +0000, Leigh Porter wrote:

Odd. Thats almost exactly parallel with how much spam we get. Normally 20-40K and in the past week or so as high as 160K - must be some kind of conspiracy. Stb On Sat, 20 Dec 1997, nicholas harteau wrote:
